Title: Middle Bay or Mobile Bay Lighthouse, Mobile Bay, Alabama
Creator(s): Highsmith, Carol M., 1946-, photographer
Date Created/Published: 2010.
Notes:
Due to high labor costs in the post-Civil-War South, the lighthouse was prefabricated in the North and then shipped to Mobile Point, where it arrived in 1885. The screwpile lighthouse consists of a wooden hexagonal dwelling with a roof that sloped upwards to a centrally located lantern room. The lighthouse is supported by seven legs-one in the middle, and a single leg extending from each corner of the superstructure.
